Barry , can not start the Xwindow after I add the .fonts directory in /root .
The .fonts directory was symbol link to /home/fonts directory . My pup_save.sf2 is in /had2 ( ext2 fs) .
The fonts directory content only have one font file (fireflysung.ttf) .
I use the Rox-Filer to make the symbol link , after making the symbol link,
the seamonkey can not start . Then I reboot the puppy-3.92-seamonkey
live CD , the result is Xwindow can not start . I remove the .fonts symbol link and type xwin , the Xwindow return normal .
I use this method to add fonts file since Puppy 1.08 to 3.01 , it work very good . I enjoy Puppy linux very much , thinks !

is there any way to prevent mplayer from opening again if you click on a new file...?

I'm using a script, /usr/bin/mplayershell, to start mplayer. This is supposed to detect any special situations. Yes, gmplayer is used. The script could detect if mplayer already running then not start another instance ...but would everyone want that? or, I suppose the old instance could just be killed.

The versions downloaded direct from Mozilla were always a bit faster and even more so with the latest version 1.1.6.

The new cut-down Seamonkey is even faster to the extent that it is about twice as fast on startup times as the previous built-in versions 1.1.2 to 1.1.5.

Also, Seamonkey's performance doesn't seem to degrade as much over time, as is the case with the the later versions of Firefox., even if the browser is left running for an extended period. Has Seamonkey cured
the supposed "memory-leak problems" whereas Firefox has failed to do so?_________________Life is too short to spend it in front of a computer

Re NTFS, when I mounted one NTFS partition, it displayed a red window saying "illegal option --i". Despite this, the NTFS partition was opened read-only. My take on this: leave NTFS alone (just read it, don't write on it), and use extra HD space through Gparted. Using NTFS and coping with its idiosyncracies is a waste of time, IMHO.

Raffy, did you use pmount to mount that partition? I looked at the /bin/mount script and cannot see any way that a '--i' parameter can be there. So, I'm wondering if you tried to mount it some other way. But, as you got that red window it means the mount script did run -- but, the mount script screens out all passed parameters that start with a '-', so I'm puzzled.

Sometimes I get the red screen in Pmount in 4alpha when looking at NTFS but I've ignored it as it is clearly incorrect - the NTFS files are visible. MUT sees all my drives without any spurious messages.

Maybe the Puppy 4 Alpha1 thread could be amalgamated with this one? The renumbering might be confusing, but perhaps John's board could edit out 4 alpha in the same way as on Barry's blog?

Yes, it's pmount. Puppy users rarely use other ways of mounting, I guess.

Also, in a SATA-using PC that I tested, pmount hides the /dev/sdax (hard disk partitions) whenever I plug in a USB drive. This is where MUT can recover but pmount can't (I have tested that before, and it is the same with 4 alpha2). EDIT: Just to clarify, there is no MUT in 4alpha2 so no comparison this time.

I've just realised that the dropping of gtk1 means that pptpconfig probably won't work. I've just tried installing the existing dotpup I made and it is giving gtk errors. I don't think it will compile for gtk2 and it seems like, the author, James Cameron views it as a bit of a millstone. Debian and Ubuntu seem to have dropped it in favour of a Network Manager plugin which I still haven't got working on Debian Lenny. To be fair I don't have much Debian experience and only tried for about 4 hours.
Looks like it will be back to the command line to manage my VPN connection, this is a shame as pptpconfig did it better than me!

Really I think zigbert should learn how to use pptpclient and write us a nice shiny gtkdialog app. I'm sure it wouldn't be much work pptpconfig.php is only 2200 lines long!_________________Will

Sometimes, when installing a pet package using the petget manager, a window warns that there is not enough space left on the disk. And often, there is enough space! I think that the reason is that the the units measuring the free space of the disk and the units of the estimated needed space are NOT the same. In fact, checking the output of the "stat" program, it can be seen that they are given in blocks of sizes 4096 and 512, respectively.
There is thus a factor 8 among them. Thus the required estimated space in petget is overestimated by this factor 8.
I suggest to change the line:
